Andrea Mitchell Advocates For Planned Parenthood

Friday, April 06, 2012

Is it the role of a "correspondent," as opposed to a pundit, to advocate on a controversial subject?

Apparently Andrea Mitchell thinks it's just fine.

On today's Morning Joe, Mitchell, NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent, twice spoke in defense of Planned Parenthood. She claimed to distinguish PP's role in providing abortions from the screening services it offers women, and criticized the decision of the Texas state government to prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving federal screening funds. But funds being fungible, Mitchell was effectively advocating for all of Planned Parenthood, including its role as the nation's largest abortion provider.

Could be Obama’s son – Tyrone Woodfork accused of first-degree murder, severely beating an elderly couple – 85 year old female dies, 90 year old male in and out of hospital – national media silent Strange. I didn’t hear about this from the lame stream pink slime media. I only first learned about this story today via social networks. It seems a few local stations in Oklahoma barely covered the story, but outside of that nothing. I wonder why? Wouldn’t you think that someone who could be Obama’s son like Tyrone Woodfork who has been accused of first-degree murder for fatally beating an 85 year old women and wife of the other victim who is a 90 year old white man. Oh wait, I get it. The pink slime media doesn’t find this newsworthy because there was no “white Hispanic” being accused of murdering a 17 year old black teen. You see, about a week ago, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a black teen named Tyrone Woodfork severely beat an elderly couple. The couple had been married for 65 years, and the male who is still alive is 90 years old and served in the 101st Airborne during World War II. The wife was an 85 year old. The few local media reports that did come out on this story failed to mention the race of Woodford (black) and the victims (white.) If the situation was reversed and the white 90 year old man fatally beat the girlfriend of Tyrone Woodfork and severally beat Tyrone, this would be a bigger story than the Trayvon Martin story. Yet, for some reason, the pink slime media doesn’t feel this is news worthy. This attack happened on March 14th, during the height of the media and progressive liberal race baiting and demagoguing the Trayvon Martin story. Though none of the media reports mention if Woodfork mentioned anything about Martin, one has to wonder if this brutal attack would have happened if not for the race baiting.



Obama said that if he had a son he could have looked like Trayvon Martin. If Obama had a son, he could have also looked like Tyrone Woodfork too. Aside from being married 65 years, the couple also had had six children and 18 grandchildren. They even had great, great, great grandchildren.
